Rita - I suspect the bulk of the population is no worse or better than before. It's just that some continue to resent civilisation.

Hello everyone, hope you all had a peaceful night,
Thank you for all the kind thoughts and support you have put on here for me,
I tried 3 times to get on here yesterday but kept getting the error message, so I gave up.
Breakfast anyone??
Cereal or fruit.
Bacon, eggs, sausage, tomatoes and hash browns.
Hot rolls or toast.
Tea or coffee.
Best get ready to go out now.
Take care and stay safe.

Good morning all,
I kept getting the error message yesterday and couldn't get on here all day. :-S :-S
Lovely and sunny down this way but quite windy.
Rita I do hope your family's luck changes soon. You have certainly had more than your share of worry.
Had a nice relaxing weekend, read a lot, did a bit in the garden and re-potted my orchid. OH did roast lamb for dinner last night, mmmm delicious.
Going to buy some black shoes this morning as we have a couple of evenings out coming up and my only good pair are looking a bit shabby.
Hope you all are well and have a nice day :-D
00000000000000000 for Jean

Nice to see you Jean,
The full works please! :-)
Hope everyone has a good day!
Good luck with buying your shoes Cath. I've only got lace ups or those with a strap because I'm only a size 3 and I find slip-ons slop!.

Pat, you've got little feet like me, I have a friend that calls them pig trotters.
Good Morning everyone, Hope your feeling OK Jean, and everyone have a marvellous monday.

Hi All,

Had a great day yesterday .....it did rain quite a bit but only after we had our walk .
Rita... as Pat said its (Shaldon the correct spelling), as long as I've known it, maybe at one time slightly difference as names do change over many years.
It has a Church named St Nicholas and opposite was once the busy Port of Teignmouth, would this be the same place as your ancestors ?

Thank you Jean for the breakfast ....so glad to see you pop in.
still praying for you.0000000000

Agatha its so good to see you posting again x

I'm helping Pete paint the lounge today, well holding the ladder. I hate that job its so high as the ceiling its corporates with the walls in between the beams . But it has to be done as its ME that complains it needs repainting !! LOL

Cath do you go ballroom dancing ?

Maddie that must be frightening living up there these mobs could turn up anywhere ........move down here to Devon safer

:-D

The papers I have Marilyn are named Sheldon it is mainly my Great Grandmothers family named ACKLAND in 1836 there are brothers and sisters who came from Dunkwell. and Sidmouth many emigrated to Geelong in Victoria Austrailia. I have the compltete offical tree they came from Quakers also lived in Uffculme .Hemyock and Kentishbear. but it is certainly Sheldon Devon there was a book published " A Devon Family."
The story of the Acklands. written by Lady Anne Acland that was they way they spelt the name then. I have a signed copy.
My Great Grandmother Elza Ackland was born in Ottery St Mary in Devon.

I got up late this morning once again had a problem getting off to sleep so once I did drop off I sletp longer. then I sat and watched The Heirs on TV while I had breakfast.

I am off to the dentist at 12. oclock not looking forward to that.
Hope everyone is well this bright and sunny morning ? keep well away from that paint pot Marilyn. your have a bump on your head otherwise.

Rita

Hi Rita.

Well its seems to be the same place as your ancestors.

Take a look at this web site...

GENUKI/Devon: Shaldon - Genealogy

Dont forget spellings were altered by folk on documents the dialect plays a great part in different spellings.

Hmm interesting...

Just having a break from holding the ladder ..LOL

wooooohoooo

im back been down the caravan with my girls and the grandchildren for a few days

i now have to go out shoping and i realy carnt be botherd

Rita there is a place called Sheldon as well. I think it's near Dunsford way.
It's a bit grey here now :-P

Thank you Pat. I looked at the wills and tree I have of my Great Grandmother tree and they all say Sheldon on that. I know they do spell names often differently but all my documentation say SHELDON The tree I have dates back to 1626. from the Society of Friends East division of Devon of Quakers.and the name is then Ackland it is after this the named changed to Acland and then reverted back the first Acklands are buried in a private garveyard called Spicelands this is the oringal copy of the Quakers society.they were living at Hemyock from about 1600 then my Gt Gt GT GT Grandfather married and she was born in Sheldon . one of the death certificates dated 11th April 1785 was an Elizabeth Ackland
I have pages and pages of The Ackland family.
I often get an email from the Archivist in Devon asking me if this Lee or that Ackland is part of my family tree. she gets letters and emails from around the world with people looking for this information.
That was how I got so much information on my Great Grandmothers Uncle who was a twin and they emigrated to Australia and I have a copy of his will and details of land that was given to him when he moved out there. the family are very vast.

Rita

“Is it not both great vanity & uncleanness that at table, a place of respect, of cleanliness, of modesty, men should not be ashamed to sit filling their pipes & puffing the smoke one to another, making the filthy smoke & stink thereof to exhale athwart the dishes & infect the air?

It is a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs and, in the black stinking fumes thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless”.

That is what King James wrote in 1604 lamenting the introduction of tobacco into England. Of course, we still regret its continuing use in fewer words - ‘Smoking can kill’.

I've never smooked Dermot :-)
Talking of health does anyone here go to a gym?
I'm toying with the idea of going to a gym - not because I need to lose weight-
I only weigh 7 stones but because I don't get enough exercise and could do more :-S I've got visions of me slacking off during the winter and it being a waste of money!!!!

blimmy pat wish i was 7st
